Earthworks Shading

There are four modes than can be used to shade the earthworks.

	Shade Earthworks Cut / Fill This option will colour the earthworks by cut / fill depth. It is particularly useful for visualising where the cut and fill will be highest in the project area.
	Shade Earthworks Levels This option will colour the earthworks by level with a totally independent colour scheme to that used by the existing terrain. This is useful when you need to show the earthworks levels, but you want to make a clear distinction from the existing ground.
	Match Ground Shading This option will colour the earthworks exactly the same as the existing ground so that it appears as a single surface. This mode is useful for quickly visualising what the final terrain will look like once the earthworks are completed.
	Element Colours This option will colour the earthworks to an automated colour selection (or a colour of your choice), to show the extent of the reporting area for each element type (building pad, garage, soft landscaping etc.) that is in a project. This is useful to quickly locate a particular group of elements (e.g. all building pads).
